In  revising  this  book,  care  has  been  taken  to  preserve  all  the 
excellences  that  have  so  long  and  so  favorably  distinguished 
McQuffey's  Eclectic  Spelling  Book:  and  the  chief  changes 
that  have  been  made,  have  been  suggested  by  the  evident 
plan  of  the  original  work. 

The  old  system  of  indicating  the  pronunciation  by  numerals, 
called  "superiors,"  has  been  abandoned,  and  the  diacritical 
marks  used  by  Webster  have  been  adopted.  The  Revised 
Speller  conforms  in  orthography,  pronunciation,  and  syllabica- 
tion to  Webster's  International  Dictionary.  Exercises  have 
been  given  on  each  of  the  distinctive  marks  used  in  the  book, 
as  will  be  seen  by  reference  to  Lessons  36-57. 

A  number  of  lessons  have  been  added  in  the  department  of 
prefixes  and  suffixes,  and  now  nearly  all  the  more  common  of 
these  etymological  principles  have  been  explained.  (See  Les- 
sons 136-167.) 

In  arranging  the  text  of  the  several  lessons,  the  object  has 
been  not  to  appeal  merely  to  arbitrary  memory,  b^t  to  asso- 
ciate each  lesson  with  some  principle  of  sound,  meaning,  or 
accent,  which  would  tend  to  aid  the  pupil  in  acquiring  a 
knowledge  of  our  language.  Several  distinct  lessons  on  pro- 
nunciation are  given,  and  towards  the  close  of  the  book  nu- 
merous lessons  of  difficult  words  in  orthography  have  been 
introduced. 

Instead  of  indicating  silent  letters  by  italics,  as  has  hitherto 
been  done,  a  new  type  has  been  made  in  which  such  letters 
are  canceled,  thus  enabling  the  pupil  to  discover  their  status 
at  a  glance. 

The  pages  have  been  enlivened,  as  in  the  other  books  of  this 
Series,  by   attractive  engravings. 

The  publishers  take  pleasure  in  acknowledging  the  valu- 
able services  of  W.  B.  Watkins,  D.  D.,  who  planned  and 
executed  this  revision.

THE  ENGLISH  ALPHABET. 


The  English  Alphabet  consists  of  twenty-six  letters,  viz.: 
a,  6,  c,  d,  e,f,  g,  h,  i,  j,  k,  /,  m,  n,  o,  p,  q,  r,  8,  t,  u,  v,  w,  x, 
y,  z. 

Letters  are  divided  into  Vowels  and  Consonants. 

The  Vowels  are  those  letters  which  can  be  perfectly- 
sounded  without  the  aid  of  any  other  letter.  The  vowels 
are  a,  e,  t,  o,  w,  vo^  and  y. 

The  vowel  sounds  of  w  and  y  are  the  same  as  those  of  u 
and  X.  A  and  o  are  always  vowels.  E,  i,  xi,  w^  and  y 
are  sometimes  consonants. 

A  Diphthong  is  the  union  of  two  vowels  in  one  sound. 

When  hoih  vowels  are  sounded,  the  diphthong  is  called 
Proper,  because  then  it  is  really  a  diphthong,  or  d(niible 
sou7id;  that  is,  the  sounds  of  the  vowels  unite;  as,  oi  in  oil; 
ou  in  sound. 

When  only  one  of  the  vowels  is  sounded,  the  diphthong 
is  called  Improper,  because  then,  as  one  of  the  vowels  is 
silent,  it  is  not  properly  a  diphthong,  though  it  takes  that 
name;  as,  oa  in  boat,  ui  in  suit,  where  a  and  i  are  silent. 

The  following  diphthongs  are  in  common  use,  viz.:  oi,  oy, 
ou,  ow,  ae,  ai,  au,  aw,  ay,  ea,  ei,  eo,  eu,  ew,  ey,  ia,  ie,  oa,  oe, 
lui,  xie,  xii;  as  in  toil,  boy,  round,  plow,  seal,  coal,  head,  sail, 
say,  axight,  yeoman.  Of  these,  oi,  oy,  ou,  and  ow  are  gener- 
ally proper  diphthongs ;  though  sometimes  ou  and  ow  are 
improper,  as  in  famoxis,  where  o  is  silent,  and  in  sbw,  where 
w  is  silent. 

A  Triphthong  is  the  union  of  three  vowels  in  one  sylla- 
ble; as,  eau  in  beau,  iew  in  view.  The  triphthong  is 
properly  a  union  of  letters,  not  sounds.

W,  in  its  vowel  sounds,  corresponds  with  u;  as  in  new 
(pro.  nu).  A  has,  in  a  few  words,  the  sound  of  6;  as  in 
any  (jyro.  6n'ny).  U  has,  in  a  few  words,  the  sound  of  ^;  as 
in  bury  (pro.  b^r'ry) ;  or  that  of  i,  as  in  busy  (pro.  bTz'y')* 

OF  THE  CONSONANTS. 

The  Consonants  are  those  letters  which  can  not  be  per- 
fectly sounded  without  the  aid  of  a  vowel.  The  consonants 
are  6,  c,  d,  /,  g,  h,  j,  k,  I,  m,  n,  p,  q,  r,  s,  t,  v,  x,  z,  and 
sometimes  e,  i,  u,  w,  and  y.  The  consonants  are  divided  into 
Mutes  and  Semivowels. 

The  Mutes  are  those  consonants  that  admit  of  no  sound 
without  the  aid  of  a  vowel.  They  are  6,  d,  k,  p,  q,  t,  and 
c  and  g  hard. 

■^NOTE.— The  u  is  canceled  in  this  book  when  qu  is  sounded  like  k. 


6  ECLECTIC  SERIES. 

The  Semivowels  are  those  consonants  that  can  be 
sounded  imperfectly  by  themselves.  They  are  /,  /i,  J,  I,  m, 
n,  r,  8,  V,  a:,  2,  and  c  and  g  soft. 

Four  of  the  semivowels  are  called  Liquids;  viz.,  i,  m,  n, 
and  r.  They  are  called  liquids  because  they  unite  so 
readily  with  other  sounds,  or  flow  into  them. 


OF  SYLLABLES  AND  WORDS. 

A  Syllable  is  a  sound,  or  a  combination  of  sounds, 
uttered  by  a  single  impulse  of  the  voice :  it  may  have  one 
or  more  letters;  as,  a,  bad,  bad-ness. 

A  Word  is  either  a  syllable  or  a  combination  of  sylla- 
bles; as,  not,  notion. 

A  word  of  one  syllable  is  called  a  Monosyllable ;  as,  man. 

A  word  of  two  syllables  is  called  a  Dissyllable;  as, 
manly. 

A  word  of  three  syllables  is  called  a  Trisyllable;  as, 
manliness.  Words  of  more  than  three  syllables  are  called 
Polysyllables. 

Accent  is  a  stress  of  voice  placed  upon  some  one  sylla- 
ble more  than  the  others.  Every  word  composed  of  two  or 
more  syllables  has  one  of  them  accented.  This  accent  is 
denoted  by  a  mark  C)  ^^  ^^^  ^nd  of  the  accented  syllable; 
as,  mid'night,  aban'don. 

A  Primitive  Word  is  one  which  is  not  derived  from 
any  other  word ;  as,  man,  great,  full. 

A  Derivative  Word  is  one  which  is  formed  from  some 
other  word  h^  adding  something  to  it;  as,  manful,  greatness, 
fully. 

A  Simple  Word  is  one  which  is  not  composed  of  more 
than  one  word;  as,  hind,  man,  stand,  ink. 

A  Compound  Word  is  one  that  is  composed  of  two  or 
more  simple  words;  as,  inkstand,  text-book. 

Spelling  is  naming  or  writing  the  letters  of  a  word.

DiCTATiOx\  Exercises. 

Note  to  Teachers. — These  lessons  are  intended  as  exercises 
in  the  meaning  as  well  as  the  spelling  of  words.  Distinguish 
carefully  words  of  similar  sound,  but  which  differ  in  their 
spelling.  At  the  recitation  the  sentences  should  be  read 
aloud  by  the  teacher,  and  the  pupils  required  to  write  them 
out  neatly  and  correctly  upon  their  slates  or  on  the  black- 
board. 

He  ate  seven  or  eight  apples.  Send  the  pale 
maid  with  the  pail  of  milk.  He  owed  for  the 
paper  on  which  he  wrote  an  ode  to  the  moon. 
We  are  not  quite  ready  for  the  quiet  man. 
Age  gives  edge  to  wine.  He  said  the  idol 
looked  like  a  satyr.  Clever  satire  often  rouses 
the  idle.

Dictation  Exercises  on  the  Above. 

The  lamb  is  a  dumb  animal.  He  climbed 
the  hill  to  the  tomb,  but  his  limbs  became 
numb.  Comb  your  hair,  but  do  not  thumb 
your  book.  Bombs  are  now  commonly  called 
"shells."  The  debtor,  who  was  a  subtle  man, 
doubted  his  word,  and  gave  not  a  crumb  of 
comfort.  Take  your  psalter  and  select  a  joy- 
ous psalm.     His  answer  was,  "Pshaw!"

temn a  mean  act ;  but  do  not  always  condemn 
the  actor.  They  were  to  seize  the  fort,  and 
cease  liring.  They  aifect  great  grief;  but  do

A  decent  regard  for  others'  ills  is  human. 
They  advise  the  young  to  take  the  advice  of 
the  old.  The  enemy  will  invade  the  rich  prov-

OF  CHARACTERS  USED  IN  PUNCTUATION. 

A  Comma  [ ,  ]  denotes  the  slightest  degree  of  separation  be- 
tween the  elements  of  a  sentence. 

A  Semicolon  [ ;  ]  denotes  a  degree  of  separation  somewhat 
greater  than  that  indicated  by  a  comma. 

A  Colon  [ :  ]  marks  a  still  greater  degree  of  separation  than 
a  semicolon, 

A  Period  [ .  ]  usually  indicates  the  close  of  a  sentence. 

The  Interrogation  Point  [  ?  ]  is  used  at  the  end  of  a  ques- 
tion. 

The  Exclamation  Point  [ !  ]  denotes  astonishment  or  other 
emotion. 

A  Hyphen  [-]  is  used  to  join  words  or  syllables. 

A  Dash  [ — ]   marks  a  sudden  break  or  stop  in  a  sentence. 

A  Parenthesis  [  (  )  ]  includes  words  which  might  be  left  out 
without  injuring  the  sense. 

Brackets  [  ]  inclose  words,  etc.,  intended  to  explain  or  rec- 
tify what  precedes  or  follows. 

An  Apostrophe  [ '  ]  indicates  the  omission  of  one  or  more 
letters;  or  denotes  the  possessive  case. 

Quotation  Marks  [  **  "]  show  that  the  passage  included,  is 
taken  from  some  other  author.

A  Capital  should  begin:  (1)  the  first  word  of  every  sentence,

places,  months,  and  days;  (3)  all  appellations  of  the  Deity; 
(4)  titles  of  honor;  (5)  names  of  things  personified;  (6)  names
